Gavin Stone's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone (shoulder) underwent shoulder surgery and is expected to miss all of the 2025 season, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. The 25-year-old was battling shoulder inflammation during September and had to undergo surgery to fix the issue. The 25-year-old performed well at times through his first full season as a big-league starter. Across 140 1/3 innings of work, Stone posted a 3.53 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. He held an above-average 6.4% barrel rate and 36.2% hard-hit rate. However, he generated whiffs at a weak 24.6% rate and strikeouts at a low 20.0% mark. The former fifth-round selection will now set his sights on returning to the mound in 2026.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone (shoulder) is expected to start his throwing program this weekend as he rehabs from shoulder inflammation. Stone was placed on the 15-day IL last Friday, putting him in a good spot to make a return for the Dodgers' playoff run. Stone was in the midst of a very solid rookie campaign, pitching to a 3.53 ERA and posting an 11-5 record in 25 starts. With as many injuries as the Dodgers have sustained over the past couple seasons, Stone's consistency was very welcome in their rotation. His return will help support the Dodgers in October. Fantasy managers shouldn't plan on the 25-year-old returning during the regular season. Any fantasy managers in need of starting pitching help to finish the season should turn to Landon Knack. Knack had posted a 3.00 ERA in 54 IP coming into Friday night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-hander Gavin Stone (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with right-shoulder inflammation and recalled right-hander Landon Knack and left-hander Justin Wrobleski from the minors in corresponding moves. Right-hander Michael Petersen was also optioned. In his last start last weekend against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday, Stone gave up five earned runs on five hits while striking out four in five innings of work. There's a chance that the 25-year-old could miss the rest of the 2024 regular season, and it remains to be seen if he'll be an option for the Dodgers' rotation in the postseason. Knack is making the start for the Blue on Friday at Dodger Stadium against the visiting Cleveland Guardians, with Wrobleski likely to start on Saturday. In his first full season in the majors in 2024, Stone has gone 11-5 with a 3.53 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP and 116 K's in 25 starts.
